Afrocolombians are a very important part of us, they are part of colombian culture. Sadly, colombian people discriminate among each others. I really dont understand how a society in progress practice racism where all people should get the same treat.
Why just 2% of afro people have the chance to get the university? Why do they live in poorness?
or why the mortality rate of them is higher? Those are some of the questions I wonder myself and made me think about a place where no one be afected by diferences between other ones.

Carlos, it is a sad analysis but we should try to find a solution to demolish racism. In Colombia exist a definition called positive discrimination. This concept is associated to actions to favor communities like afro colombian, indigenous groups and persons with disabilities, It consists on reserve a percentage of jobs or quota in an institution for these population. It is discrimination but is to decrease the percentages showed by the video.
ReplyDeleteThose are important questions, Carlos, and the answers are probably compex. I am sure you can find some literature about it. Gina, good point Many countries have different strategies like those you mentioned.
